Principle One – Audit your Inner Circle. Waiting for others to give you the thumbs up for what you want to do will slow you or even stop you from doing what you need to do. Instead, just be you and do it. Don’t expect others to be able to see through your prescription lenses. Your dream is your dream and not anyone else’s.
Principle Two – Solve Bigger Problems. The levels of stress you experience with small problems is about the same you experience with bigger problems. Look to getting better at solving bigger problems.
Principle Three – It’s all on you. No none is coming to save you. Even when times are tough people still succeed and prosper. It’s up to you and what you choose to do.
Principle Four – Who is steering your ship. Are you the captain of your ship or has someone or something else got control of the rudder? Are things that have happened in the past preventing you from living a full life. Is it past regret, guilt or feeling not good enough keeping you looking in the rear-view mirror instead of ahead?
Principle Five – Meet every day with the intention of being the best version of yourself. Results will follow.
Principle Six – Be bold. Take uncomfortable action and extend the threshold of your comfort zone. Tackle things you have been avoiding.
Principle Seven – Focus on the solution instead of on what happened and who is to blame. Focussing on the problem will only make it seem bigger and will create negative energy. You will not find a solution in a negative mindset. Learn from what happened and move forward with positive energy.
Principle Eight – Look for little shifts. Small hinges swing big doors. What could you do on a daily and weekly basis to move you closer to what you want? Start your day with an empowering routine. Take a new weekly course or training.
Principle Nine – Persist until you succeed. Keep moving beyond challenges and setbacks. Even if you fall over pick yourself up and dust yourself off and learn what went wrong and do it differently next time. Success could just be around the next corner. If you give up prematurely life will go back to what it was previously and that did not make you happy or you would not have attempted change.
Principle Ten – Who not the how. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Find someone who has already done what you want to do and model what they have done. This will save you time and help you avoid pitfalls.
